• How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

  My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

  Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

  Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

• Reinstall XP OEM on Clean Hard Drive, but don't have installation disk

  I have a Dell Inspiron and it's just a user.  There is no bling for this laptop; built in ' 05, 40 GB HDD, 1 GB of RAM.  Supplied with Windows XP Home Edition on it.  I still have the product key.  However, I don't have a installation CD of any or anything of that nature.

  I recently wiped the HDD using DBAN, and I want to reinstall XP on it, using the existing product key.  This seems to be a trivial task, but I can't find anything on the net resettlement on from scratch.   I will be very put out if I did know that I have to buy a copy of the operating system.  That doesn't seem right, because I took the operating system out, I should be able to put it back on as if nothing happened.
  Basicall I'm looking for is a copy of the operating system to install on the HARD disk, where I can then put in the old key.

  you tell me, that even though I HAD a version of legitimate XP, when the circumstances where should, say the hard drive died and was unreadable and had to be replaced, it is impossible to reinstall an OS what I already purchased?

  No, you went just about this the wrong way.

  The seller of a computer came with Windows pre-installed is bound by the terms of its license with Microsoft to provide to the end user (i.e. you) with a way to restore the operating system.  A 'direct' (like Dell) OEM, it can do so by providing a restore partition hidden on the disc (which you wiped out if you said DBAN to wipe the entire drive) and/or a mechanism to restore on CD (which you apparently do not have).  The latter can be a 'true' Windows XP CD or a sort of 'restore' CD particularized.

  Since you have a Dell, you should get in touch with Dell support, who can (or cannot, given the fact that XP is no longer for sale) be able to provide with restoration of the media for a fee.  You will need the printer Dell 'service number', which should be on a label stuck to your computer.  See, for example, http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/my_systems_info/en/details?c=us&l=en&s=hied

  You will need to borrow an installation disc to a former operating system Microsoft - Windows 95, 98 or me. There is no way around it. If person don't you know is an older drive, you can borrow for a few minutes, you will need, you will need to either buy a copy full XP or take the unit to a local computer professional to do the XP installation for you.

• How can I reinstall windows 7 on a partitioned drive recovery?

  my computer already has a score of recovery on it. How do before reinstalling windows from this partition?

  Click Start, type: msconfig

  Press enter on your keyboard

  On the general tab, select Normal startup

  Click on apply and OK

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

• How can I reinstall windows after new HD, but don't have windows or recovery discs, I have valid Vista COA and the product key

  I have a laptop Acer 4720 with valid product key of Vista Home Premium OEMact and COA label, my problem is the HD is broken and I need to install the new HD and then reinstall windows, but I have not all disks (was on the recovery partition which is good), so what are my options? Can I use any family Vista Edition installation disc Premium and then activate my license key?

  Hi again,

  You use the product key on your computer case with the Installation DVD Microsoft process.

  As I advised alreasdy, recovery from other manufacturers discs are of no use for this

  The only thing is that you may need to make a phone Activation, do it this way and not use auto invite, but hold the line for a person to physically respond to your call.

  I would advise not to download an ISO of Vista on the Internet, you will find that they are pirated and malicious programs containing versions changed.

  The DVDs are not available from Microsoft.

  When I informed 'borrow' that's what I meant. a friend, acquantance workplace, etc.

  Or if you know someone with the same model of Acer and Vista operating system, you might try their recovery disks.

  See you soon.

  My computer came with Windows XP installed and NO CD with the operating system, I haven't bought referbished system off eBay, there is no manufacturer to contact discs... help please! = ~ D not drive for the Windows XP operating system and no way to get the drive's operating. There is no way to recover my OS. Can't afford to buy a new Windows, please I need my computer to manage my eBay business! Can you give me a way to reinstall Windows XP by using my valid license key? = ~ D

  What do you mean by "I've lost everything? What have you done or what happened? Do you have valuable data on your hard drive and hear you because she is 'empty '? What is a malware problem? Or something else?

  The Ebay seller was obliged to provide you with the means to restore the PC to its original state (Yes, I'm aware that many sellers that they don't only not this rule). There may be a hidden hard disk restore partition.
  What is the brand, model and model number of your PC? Your PC came with XP Home, XP Pro or XP MCE? What level of SP (Service Pack)? Your PC has a sticker of COA on it? If so, what operating system is listed on it?
  If you use a PC to manage a business, it is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL that you have a method to regularly backup all your files! I recommend to start another thread for how to do this!

  Staples load Vista on my computer but never gave me the disc, I need to format my drive, but I have to for on activation code reinstall. What should do?

  You probably have a restore disk partition that can be used to reinstall Windows. See your documentation or check with Staples to learn more.

  Note that formatting the drive and reinstalling WIndows are a very bad approach to address any problem. What makes you think you need to do this?

  And please note that a subject line that says: "What to do?" we said nothing and is likely to get your question ignored by many people. The subject must always be a brief description of what the problem is - in your case, something like "Want to reinstall but have no disc."

  My laptop came preloaded with Windows 7 and there is no CD or something with it.  I'm having some problems and you may have to reformat my hard drive.  How will I be able to put Windows 7 on without the CD?

  Most manufacturer who deliver without CD include a "recovery partition" or "factory image partition" which you can access during the boot.  Dell provided a CD and also came the recovery partition, for example, called Dell Factory Image Restore.  You would have to check in your manual to find out how to access the installation if you have a.
